Regulatory Decision-Maked on SDGs


Description

Some of the decisions and their analysis handed down by ANATEL's Board of Commissioners are dedicated to whether the proposed decision or direction contributes to the achievement of the United Nations 2030 Agenda.
This is one of the initiatives to effectively implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations 2030 Agenda as a basis for decision-making. The practice of particular conduct or the assessment of a regulatory topic should be based not only on the point of view of current national legislation but, above all, on whether it promotes or is an obstacle to the implementation of the SDGs in the country.
With such a stance, it is important to establish an institutional culture in bodies and entities for the internal implementation of the SDGs of the 2030 Agenda. Some initiatives that the ANATEL is carrying out, such as the institution of the commission responsible for drafting the Anatel public competition that, out of six members, five are women, as well as the need to observe gender equality in events promoted internally. Other initiatives are related to imposing regulatory sanctions framed as obligations of infrastructure deployment in remote areas.
These are some of the actions and initiatives that seek to demonstrate and assist in the implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda.
